Raffle to benefit stricken musician at Cocoon

Posted

HAWLEY, PA — Local businesses will be raffling off goods and services at the next Open Mic Night held at Cocoon Coffee House on Friday, February 6. The raffle serves as a fundraiser to off-set medical costs for Barry Butler, who went into cardiac arrest, at the January 2 Open Mic Night. “As CPR was administered to Barry that night, you could hear a pin drop,” says Jason Brian Merrill, frequent host of Cocoon Open Mic Nights. “We are elated that Barry survived and grateful for the actions of all the Open-Mic attendees that night. It was a true instance of a community rallying to help one of our members. Many present expressed their interest in doing something more to help Barry, so this raffle organically evolved.”

Raffle items include four sets of two Flex tickets to Harmony Presents shows, a one-night stay at Ledges Hotel, a month’s gym membership to Lake Region Fitness, a gift certificate to Artisan Picture Framing and Art Gallery and a gift certificate for four weeks’ worth of music lessons from Players Row.

Additional donated goods and services are greatly appreciated. Contact info@visithawleypa.com to donate a good or service.

The Open Mic Night will begin accepting sign-ups at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, February 6, and performances begin at 7 p.m. Performers may play up to two songs each and must bring their own instruments. Cocoon Open Mic Nights typically occur on the first Friday of every month.
